I have a hard time finding sandals that are the right level of casual to work as you described plus are as comfortable as they need to be. I wore both colors pretty evenly and will definitely keep them for next year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-best-sandals---daywear/page/2#post-1723229 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 12:55:09 +0000 Tanya 1723229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck with your sandal search.&nbsp;&nbsp; My most worn sandals were all bought in summer of 2014 or earlier and have cushy almost-flat foot bed and lots of straps.&nbsp; I do not find completely flat, hard soled sandals comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-best-sandals---daywear#post-1723223 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 12:30:39 +0000 Helen11 1723223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, yes it is Nikki from Styling you. &nbsp;I thought you might have mentioned her previously, too.

I just ordered them in the taupe and hope they work for me, too. I have nothing in taupe and think that it will work with my mostly black, ink, faded blue, and white wardrobe. I loved Brooklyn's sandals, too, but have a hard time keeping slides on my feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-best-sandals---daywear#post-1722439 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 13:17:12 +0000 Elizabeth P 1722439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have access to Josef Seibel?&nbsp; they also make very comfortable sandals.&nbsp; I picked up a pair this summer, with exactly the idea you had... something to go with skirts, shorts, anything.&nbsp; I have a lot of summer shoes, so they didn't get worn as much as they could, but I really wanted a pair that I could grab if I went away for the weekend, week, traveling south in the winter... so that one pair would do, not 3-4.&nbsp; Previous hard worn summer sandals have been Reikers. </p> <p>ETA pic added... nothing wild and exciting, just very versatile.&nbsp; And a highly recommended brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-best-sandals---daywear#post-1722429 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 12:44:51 +0000 Anonymous 1722429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if these are booties or sandals, but I have practically lived in them all summer long. I have both the taupe and the black colors. I wear the taupe more, but the black goes great with my charcoal pants and occasionally gets worn a good deal. The footbed feels like it was custom made for my fussy feet, and I can walk or stand in them all day long without fatigue.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-best-sandals---daywear#post-1722399 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 11:54:05 +0000 Staysfit 1722399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these in three colors. They are super comfortable.<br /> Another brand I love but couldn't figure out how to post quickly is Naot. I am a big fan of their sandals. Very comfy. Both are durable. When I travel, I grab my Fly's and my Naot's. Mephisto also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-best-sandals---daywear#post-1722355 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 06:15:06 +0000 anne 1722355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally I have made about 3 tries to show you these.

But they could be a bit RATE for you.</p> <p>BTW&nbsp;I told Coco I might come up to Queensland for your meet up (I have a friend in Brisbane that I would like to visit, and I could kill 2 birds etc). But it is looking doubtful now because I am soooo busy at work.

Here's a pic of them on the foot. They look Modern Classic Euro to me. EXTREMELY comfy.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you need a LOT of arch support in sandals though, try Vionics.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-best-sandals---daywear#post-1721553 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 15:39:21 +0000 Suz 1721553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love those, <b>Coco</b>!!! Fab.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie'</b>s look much better on the foot than in the photo and look like a good option as well.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Tex</b>, that is why I almost never wear my Ecco's of the same type!! Too flat for long term walking. They are nice and spongy so you <i>think</i> they are going to be great...and then....not so much. </p> <p></p> <p>However on the whole, I would say Ecco is a great place to look.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-best-sandals---daywear#post-1721538 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 15:11:22 +0000 Cococat 1721538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must shamefully admit that I spend a lot of my time in Summer in Havaianas and Ipanemas but in my defence, I do live by the beach and most people here dress very casually. </p> <p>When I was in Germany, I bought a pair of Rieka sandals. They felt amazingly comfortable and I would absolutely recommend them for comfort. </p> <p>These are the ones I bought but I have seen similar on sale online, particularly on UK sites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-best-sandals---daywear#post-1721529 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 14:51:03 +0000 Angie 1721529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been walking Sam daily in these on hot days, Sally.

The ecco's in particular that I chose this year look nice, but aren't as comfortable for walking as I'd hoped. I think they are just a little too flat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-best-sandals---daywear#post-1721481 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 13:00:30 +0000 anchie 1721481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any recommendations, since those I have a not available in your part of the world. But I was really surprised that you are able to wear summer sandals for that many years. Mine had to be replaced almost every summer. And I only wear them on the weekends and vacations, not at work. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-best-sandals---daywear#post-1721470 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 12:42:24 +0000 Anonymous 1721470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been living in these Gentle Souls all summer.&nbsp; They feel like heaven! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-best-sandals---daywear#post-1721467 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 12:34:30 +0000 Suz 1721467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the ones Deborah shows. Lovely. If they came in a lighter colour....hmmm....</p> <p>However, I am still unsticking my eyelids which popped wide open at the thought of a pair of sandals that would las 6 or 7 years. My daily sandals are trash after one year. I must wear them really hard!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the type of sandal Debs and the others showed for this purpose. Low wedge or very low heel (not completely flat for my feet which need a bit of lift). Good footbed. Soft leather.&nbsp;</p> <p>My Soffts did it for me for two years running, but this year I got a black pair and hardly wore them. Instead I alternated between the very casual Fit Flops which I got to soothe my plantar fasciitis (and which have turned out to be terrific!!!!) and my block heeled dressier sandals which I tended not to wear with shorts but with casual dresses.&nbsp;</p> <p>1) This year's FitFlop</p> <p>2, 3, 4 sandals that have previously filled this purpose. I still have and wear 4 but it is not all that supportive for my arch.&nbsp;</p> <p>5,6,7, 8 -- this year's Sofft (which I got in black but barely wore -- should have got in another colour).&nbsp;</p> <p>9,10 -- the block heeled options I wore in dressier situations.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-best-sandals---daywear#post-1721401 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 06:34:24 +0000 Sal 1721401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Maneera, I especially like your middle wedges here. &nbsp;We do have Zara but not Dorothy Perkins.</p> <p>Deborah, thanks too. &nbsp;Those are also great, and imagine they will be super comfortable being such a quality brand.</p> <p>I had a quick look at Ziera Bijou, they had a couple of possibilties. &nbsp;Ecco is a good idea.</p> <p>It is that sort of item that I know will be well worn for a while, and get a relatively hard time. &nbsp;I am sure there is an option where I can be fashionable as well as comfortable!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-best-sandals---daywear#post-1721394 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 05:27:07 +0000 Bijou 1721394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My go to labels for these type of shoes are Ecco and Ziera. I am in the market for a pair of these too, so looking forward to the recommendations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-best-sandals---daywear#post-1721390 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 05:10:41 +0000 Deborah 1721390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally I have just added a pair of sandals to my wardrobe to serve the same purpose as you describe. Stock photo (1) and on my feet (2). They are by Homyped who have given their range quite an update. Always thought of them as only for 'old ladies' but not so </p>
